the first scud was my fav--the nice thing about the blade 10.5 is, you can sit on your butt to launch and then you can scud in a crouched position
until you slow down, then you can stand upright near the end of your scud.......the best kite for scuds IMHO has to be the xxxl 9.6......had some
tremendous long ones last year--and fast too........
